How the Magnuson-Moss Act applies
- Dealer's burden of proof: The law places the burden of proof on the dealer. To legally deny your claim, the dealership must prove that the installation of your headers was the direct cause of the lifter failure. They cannot deny the warranty just because an aftermarket part is present.
- Not a universal shield: The Act does not force the dealer to cover repairs for damage you caused with an aftermarket part. If the dealer can demonstrate a link between the headers and the engine damage, they are legally within their rights to deny the claim.
- Consumer remedies:
The Act provides a legal remedy for consumers if a warrantor fails to honor the terms of their warranty, including the right to sue for damages, refunds, or repairs.
Do yourself a favor and most definitely look this act up and know your rights and be that much more informed when you go back to the dealership. |
Okay I’ll go up there and tell them about it and see if they decide to still deny me or not. I did bring it up to the service advisor but he basically told me it’s GMs call and not his so I’m assuming I’m gonna have to call the GM customer care and bring it up there and hopefully they can escalate it or point me in the right direction. I appreciate this advice though!
